    Hard to Kill Discussion Thread

    Sorry, I wasn’t ignoring your question. Was leaving work after my last post. I understand their needs to be a certain level of suspension of disbelief to enjoy pro wrestling. I.E. a piledriver not crippling someone. And theres a fairly established baseline for what’s acceptable, like Chair...

    We’re not talking about some podunk high school event. Th This. I’m not talking about some podunk high school event. These are supposed to be elite professional athletes. Show me an example of this occurring at at a high level event

    Hard to Kill Discussion Thread

    N I don’t care if they are trying or not it certainly doesn’t help their brand by losing to teenage boys. I guarantee you they were not trying to lose. Feel free to provide an example of a time in real life where a women has beaten a man in anything physical at an elite, competitive level...

    Hard to Kill Discussion Thread

    That’s great and all, regardless of any type of backstory or Sami Callahan’s physique a basic human biology class says it’s totally nonsensical. If Callahan is good enough to be World Champion that makes him 1000 times better than Tessa. And that’s not knocking women, it’s just biology...

    Hard to Kill Discussion Thread

    I don’t follow Impact, but did they really just bury their entire company and make a 120lb female their world champion? She’s not even a roided out freak of nature like Chyna or Nicole Bass. This is a joke, right? This has nothing to do with sexism or women’s wrestling in general but come on...

    Who should WWE push?

    They should push more larger than life characters who have charisma and can talk and less generic no personality flippy shit midgets

    WWE vs AEW

    Yeah an actual development show with actual developmental wrestlers getting deals with Hulu isn’t successful. Or established veteran like Chris Jericho requesting to appear on a developmental brand just so he can work a program with an unknown talent Bray Wyatt isn’t a draw. There would be no...

    WWE vs AEW

    Bo Dallas’ troll heel character was over as hell and extremely entertaining during his time in NXT. It’s not his fault Vince fucked up every good gimmick that has ever come out of NXT. You mention Seth and Richie Steamboat but leave out guys like Bray Wyatt who had one of the best...

    WWE vs AEW

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dusty_Rhodes_(wrestler) He was a writer, booker and producer for FCW and transitioned into early NXT. Enzo credited it being Dusty’s decision to send him out on the live show with no in ring training cause “he could talk”. Hell just look at the NXT product when...

    WWE vs AEW

    He sure as fuck did. 2012-2015 had Dusty’s influence all over it. It was character driven with good stories that made sense. After he died, HHH turned into an glorified indy workrate promotion with ridiculous 6 star Meltzer false finish spot fests.

    WWE Wrestlemania 36 Prediction/Dream Card Thread

    I don’t care about the matches as much as I care about the length. I had tickets at MetLife last year and it was a fucking STRUGGLE to sit there for 8+ fucking hours!!!! Even if it’s the best card ever, 8 hours of wrestling is overkill. 4-5 hours max. Quality over quantity. And no women’s...

    WWE vs AEW

    I watched one episode of AEW to realize it’s unwatchable. It’s way too indy-esque for my taste. The biggest problem I see for them is their roster sucks. Outside of Jericho & Ambrose there is no star power. Cody is mid-carder for life as far as I’m concerned, never saw him as main event...

    Rate the Current Superstar: Sammy Guevara edition

    Who? I honestly never even heard of this guy/girl?

    What matches made you mad/disappointed?

    Almost every match involving Cena or Reigns. As for recent. Seth Rollins vs the Fiend at Hell in the Cell was arguably one of the most dogshit booking clusterfucks in wrestling history. That was a god damn travesty and really turned me off the WWE product since.

    Women's match in Saudi: Was it really a good idea?

    All I know is if your trying to promote change and get them to take an interest in women’s wrestling, you sure as hell don’t make their first exposure to women’s wrestling a goddamn Natalya match. You’d have to look far and wide to find a more boring, less charismatic woman off the roster than...

    Hidden gem promos

    Mick Foley’s promo work in ECW was next level. Fuck King of the Ring, this is where Stone Cold was born. P.S. never forget that Austin stole the Stunner from Mikey!

    Most Wasted Talents in Wrestling

    Braun Strowman. Freak of nature with a decent personality. One of the few larger than life attractions on a roster full of bland, no charisma, flippy gymnasts. Should have built him up by running through Reigns and dethroning Lesnar. Instead them have him tag with a goddamn 12 year old boy...

    When Dave Schultz Owned John Stossel--Protecting Kayfabe

    The internet would make it nearly impossible to ever have Kayfabe again. So I don’t think there’s anything today’s wrestlers could do to protect the business like back in the day. However, what I have a problem with is this need to over expose everything. Shit like Ride Along or UpUpDownDown...

    Monday Night Wars: What side were you on?

    Never was a fan of NWA/WCW southern rasslin’ except during the initial NWO run. Was a WWF fan during the Hulkamania Rock & Wrestling Era but lost interest during the early 90’s when it got very cartoonish. Started watching again when the Attitude Era started. But I was Team ECW during the...

    Sami Zayn thinks he's a tough guy

    To be fair the spots in wrestling, he knows it’s coming and can prepare for it, plus his opponents aren’t trying to kill him and are trying to protect him as best as possible. Not that pro wrestlers aren’t tough or don’t have a high pain tolerance, they do. But taking worked spots or...
